Summary:

The History of Disabilities program provides access to primary sources written using terminology that was in common use by the medical establishment and general society at the time, and describes diagnoses, methodologies, procedures, and treatments that may no longer be used or were debunked by later research. Users may come across words and expressions describing individuals and groups that they find condescending, upsetting, disconcerting, offensive, and not acceptable today. MiFhGG

Notes:

Re-written from researches begun in 1908 and continued over a period of twenty-five years and recorded in several pamphlets, booklets and short treatises from 1915 to 1949.
